Sunan Abi Dawud 2542 (Book 15, Hadith 66) #22833
Protecting Horses from Mistreatment

SUMMARY: Horses should not be mistreated by cutting their manes, tails, or forelocks as they provide them with warmth and protection from flies.

Narrated Utbah ibn AbdusSulami: Utbah heard the Messenger of Allah say: Do not cut the forelocks, manes, or tails of horse, for their tails are their means of driving flies, their manes provide them with warmth, and blessing is tide to their forelocks.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ، عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا خُشَيْشُ بْنُ أَصْرَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ نَصْرٍ الْكِنَانِيِّ، عَنْ رَجُلٍوَقَالَ أَبُو تَوْبَةَ ‏:‏ عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ، مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ، - وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ - أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَقُصُّوا نَوَاصِيَ الْخَيْلِ وَلاَ مَعَارِفَهَا وَلاَ أَذْنَابَهَا، فَإِنَّ أَذْنَابَهَا مَذَابُّهَا، وَمَعَارِفَهَا دِفَاؤُهَا، وَنَوَاصِيهَا مَعْقُودٌ فِيهَا الْخَيْرُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of protecting horses from mistreatment. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that we should not cut the forelocks, manes, or tails of horses because these parts are important for their wellbeing. The tail helps them to drive away flies and the mane provides them with warmth. Additionally, blessing is tied to their forelocks. This hadith teaches us to be kind and compassionate towards animals and respect their rights as living creatures. We must take care of animals in our care and ensure that they are treated well so that they can live a healthy life without any harm coming to them.
